11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. – Ephesians 4:11-13

Today I have begun adding items to our website to help us to know the Word of God better. There is a new heading on the home page called “bible reading.” Underneath that main heading will appear more and more links to give you various Bible reading plans, Bible memory verses, and in various translations. All this is to make it easier for you to spend time in the Bible daily.

Before you check your email or read the latest news, read the Word! Work on Scripture memory. Pray about what you’ve read and memorized! Let God’s Word transform your mind, and transform your life! It’s only a click away!

His…yours,

Pastor Ken
